Outdoor Living: Portable Party Power

Prime spot near the stadium entrance? Check. Tickets? Got 'em. Hibachi? Fired up! Now all you need is a wheelable 2,000-watt inverter generator to power the flat-screen—and the fridge—for the pregame show. It'll run 4-plus hours on a tank of gas. If only it could drive you home, too.
